“Fun with Watercolors,”
Project
(Continued from page 1)
Wycallis stated that the seminars
held-to-date, in his opinion, have
been very successful. “The 10 teach-
ers and administrators from each
district working together, in itself,
has been a satisfying experience.
We are finding that in addition to
the outside consultants, the two
schools have some fine ideas to
exchange with one another.
“Three or four persons worked
together on ‘Quality Circles’, the
topic presented by Dr. Edward Pino
of Colorado, internationally known
for expertise in instruction and cur-
riculum. They have discussed pros
and cons of Dr. Pino’s program
presentation and shared opinions on
how each person can help one
another and improve.
“Dr. Vito Forlenza, curriculum
specialist at 1.U. 19, presented a
program ‘Time an Task” at the
Thursday, Feb. 21, seminar. Those
in attendance appeared to be very
impressed,” said Wycallis.
Dr. Preston stated that the dis-
tricts had been working on the idea
since late summer and early fall.
“Our aim was to expose a group
of teachers and administrators to
current thinking in education and
pull them together in the spring to
do our own program. I’m very
pleased with the number of partici-
pants requesting the research mate-
rials.
“I’m also optimistic that both
districts will be able to specify what
is needed in their curriculums. I am
confident we will have a staff devel-
oped model for 1985-86. I hope the
funding continues in order to run

was a big rush on the part of large
mailers getting mail out prior to the
date of increase.
“I believe people accepted the
increase as in line with increases in
other services,’”” said Cecconi. He
said the public is becoming more
aware of the fact that the U.S.
Postal Service rates are lower than
anywhere else in the world. In lieu
of prices in the past several years,
the postal service has increased
only 10 percent while in other areas
of business, increases have aver-
aged 13 percent.
Lukas pointed out that the postal
service used to be subsidized about
20 to 25 percent by taxpayers
money. Since no longer subsidized
by taxes, the postal service must
maintain its operational costs itself.
A heavier volume of mail handled
more accurately has enabled the
postal service to operate in the
black.
‘““The recent rate increase
includes some free services which
patrons used to pay for,” said
Lukas. Second class mail is now
forwarded free for 60 days and first
class mail is now returned to the
sender with a corrected address.
Second class services helps all
people because it includes maga-
zines and newspapers. Before, the
addressee had to pay the forward-
the program. The two districts have
become very cooperative in their
efforts to update our programs.”
Bob Roberts, teacher at Lake-
Lehman Senior High School, said
the program is to develop the staff,
as he sees it. They have four
sessions with Dr. Pino on how to do
self-assessment of strengths and
effectiveness in the classroom.
“Dr. Forlenza explained better
ways to use our time in the class-
room,” said Roberts. “The project
is acquainting us with tons of
research materials to develop a
better program.”
Roberts stated that the project is
making the participants aware of
the trends in education and that, in
four or five years, they will train all
of the teachers. In his.opinion, the
administrator’s role will be a kind
of teacher’s guidance counselor and
to help teachers improve them-
selves in the classroom. He sees the
trend moving away from rating by
the administrator.
Mrs. Marietta Toole, Lehman-
Jackson Elementary School
teacher, said both Dr. Pino and Dr.
Forlenza had good suggestions on
upgrading program curriculum.
“Once we get an overall look at
the entire project, we will be able to
use some of our own ideas. We can
use one specific program as
presented, or we can put together
everyone’s ideas and come up with
a program of our own.
“Dr. Forlenza was very interest-
ing and perhaps, one could imple-
ment all of his recommendations
and come up with a program.”
Mrs. Toole said that part of the
goal is that teachers realize that
supervisors or other teachers
coming into your classroom are
non-threatening, that they are all
accountable for the children and
should begin to help one another.
“Time on Task’ is not just teach-
ing reading or another subject,” she
said, “But assuming full responsi-
bility for the children and also
teachers helping one another. We
need to get our curriculum house in
order, upgrade effectiveness and
know where other teachers are
coming from.”
ing charge, sometimes as much as a
dollar. Now magazines and papers
are forwarded free for 60 days and,
usually, by then the address has
been corrected by a publishing com-
pany.”
Cecconi said that the volume of
mail has increased so that it keeps
the carriers going at a steady pace
all day. He attributes the increase
in volume primarily to the fact that
so many -business places send out
flyers or tab mailings instead of the
volume of newspaper advertising
they used to.
Joseph Zabinski, mail clerk at the
Dallas Post Office said that Tues-
day, Feb. 19, was the biggest day of
stamp sales he has experienced. “It
was worse than the Christmas
rush,” he said. “We had ‘three
clerks at the windows all day. Prob-
ably Monday being a holiday was a
factor in Tuesday being so busy.
“I didn’t hear any complaints,”
said Zabinski. ‘‘The people
appeared to be prepared for the
increase. I believe the advance pub-
licity about the two cent increase
helped. Qur rolls and books of 22
cent stamps are now moving well.
We are out of two and one-cent
stamps but I believe that most
people have used up the 20-cent
stamps they had on hand. We do
have two’s and one’s on order.”
EE RY
(rene Howanitz, Dallas Senior
High School teacher, said that he
found the project very good, inform-
ative to both administrators and
teachers on relationships.
“It gives a new approach empha-
sizing peer relationship between
teachers and administrators in eval-
vation and curriculum. It suggests
getting away classroom evaluation
and, in its place, point out good
points and help the teacher improve
weaknesses.”
Howanitz was impressed with Dr.
Florenza’s explanation of engaged
fime and doing away with unen-
gaged time in the classroom.
He finds the program a valuable
and different approach of self-
assessment and emphasis on dis-
carding titles in dealing with people.
He also likes the suggestion that
there should be a good rapport
between all employees-administra-
tion, teachers and non-professional
employees.
“There need be no set program
but a program based on opinions
from all teachers and input from
administrators and other staff.”
Donald Hopkins, Dallas High
School teacher, finds the program
very interesting and quite informa-
tive to this point. He doesn’t know
what is ahead.
In his opinion, it has helped
administrators and faculty gain a
better understanding of techniques.
The idea is to get away from
evaluation so quality of instruction
is improved.
“The presentation of material is
not theoretical but practical. I have
been able to implement some of it in
my teaching now. When the pro-
gram is completed, the entire group
will sit down and discuss what we
will do.
“The relationship between the two
districts has been as much inter-
relationship with our neighboring
district.”
The project shared by the two
districts appears to be considered
successful by all of those involved.
They believe it will go a long way in
improving the quality of program
and relationship in both districts.
Thus, a benefit to all students.
